The Venn 5028 S: 50mm deep, 28mm wide inside, Sapim CX-Ray spokes, 1270g a pair.
The most direct way onto a Venn rim for road and gravel. The 5028 TCD SL rim pairs a 50mm aero profile with a 28mm internal bed, sized for 35mm to 50mm tires, laced with Sapim CX-Ray spokes to Venn RH05SL ratchet hubs.
Wide enough for gravel, deep enough for the road.
At 36mm across its widest point the 5028 rim carries a wide tire cleanly, and the 28mm internal bed lets you run it at low pressure for grip and comfort on loose ground. Fifty millimetres of depth keeps it quick on tarmac. The hooked bead takes tubeless and clincher tires alike.
Sapim CX-Ray spokes, 24 front and rear.
The benchmark bladed steel spoke on race wheels: light, aero, and any shop anywhere can true or replace one. Twenty-four at each end spread the load for rough roads and loaded rides.
Ratchet hubs, 75 g front and 181 g rear.
The ratchet engages across the full tooth face rather than through a pair of pawls, so power goes in the moment you load the pedals. The hubs turn on sealed steel bearings, two in the front and four in the rear, which any shop can replace, on 7075-T6 aluminium axles inside 6061-T6 aluminium bodies. Center Lock disc mount, 100mm front and 142mm rear hub spacing. Tubeless ready, with tubeless tape and valves included.
No clear coat, your choice of surface.
The rim carries no clear coat, whichever surface you choose: gloss, matte, or the 25k filament wound pattern. Leaving the coating off keeps weight off the rim, where it costs the most, and leaves the carbon on open display. Gloss and matte weigh the same; the 25k surface adds 25 g per rim. All three cost the same.

FAQ
Riders who want a deep, wide carbon rim for road and gravel at the lowest price, on steel spokes that any shop can service.
1270g +/- 30g for the pair, calculated from its parts. The front hub weighs 75 g and the rear 181 g.
Shimano HG, SRAM XDR or Campagnolo N3W freehub bodies. The rotors mount on Center Lock, and the hubs are 100mm wide at the front and 142mm at the rear.
Yes. They ship with tubeless tape and valves. The 28mm internal width suits 35mm to 50mm tubeless tires.
All three use the same 5028 rim. The 5028 S runs Sapim CX-Ray steel spokes on Venn RH05SL ratchet hubs with sealed steel bearings, for 1270g. The 5028 C SL saves 80g with carbon aero blade spokes and S&S ceramic bearings, for 1190g. The 5028 HE1 runs Venn’s own Helix-01 hubs with 72-tooth helical engagement, for 1380g.
It is a matter of taste. Gloss and matte are bare carbon without a clear coat and weigh the same; the 25k surface shows a woven pattern and adds 25 g per rim. All three cost the same.
Yes. Shipping is free to every destination, and duties and taxes are prepaid to the US, the EU and the UK.
The Venn limited warranty: 5 years on the rims and 2 years on the complete wheelset, against defects in materials and workmanship.
